Have I used teff flour for my baking before? Mmm, for my weak memory, don’t think so! But why do I use it today? Cause it was on sale for the price 50p instead of the original price £1.50. It is quite dear for the weight 120g only, right? Because I like to explore most of the weird ingredients, it is one of my to-do-list. So why not have a go for 50p. >_<

Can anyone tell me what is the wisdom teeth for? Why are we have wisdom teeth? Why did I take those silly questions? Because I have toothache right at this moment! Have you had toothache before, hope you haven’t got this problem, it IS so painful! One of my wisdom teeth, hides behind the far end of my mouth, the pain make me neither bite nor chew any solid food, I only can manage to have the porridge! 😦 And I can’t have to see the dentist right now, because he has fully booked appointment, and I only can jump in the queue two days later. It is bad! Continue reading →

When I first saw Heather Scholten’s recipe, I was not sure about it: add pumpkin into my favourite latte drink, will it work?

Lots of tiny ?????? mark floating over my head!!! But actually it is a popular drink between the fall season. This is my problem, because it is a bit expensive for me to buy from the branded cafe. OK. Why not I try to make at home, I think I can save my money!

I need to say thank you to Heather Scholten and Tiffany they posted a very nice drink to add more colour to this coming Halloween, thanks!

Add the milk, pumpkin, sugar, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice to a small sauce pan over medium-high heat. Bring almost to a boil.

Remove from heat and add to a blender. Blend on high until the milk begins to froth, about 2 minutes. Divide milk mixture between two mugs.

Add the coffee slowly down the side so you don’t disturb the milk froth, add a squirt of whipped cream and a pinch of the chocolate powder and enjoy.

Topping ( B): ( adapted from Tiffany )

Whipping cream 1/2 cup

Golden granulated sugar 1/2 tbsp

Pumpkin puree 4 tbsp

Chocolate powder or cocoa powder for dusting the top

Method:

Use the electric blender to whisk the whipping cream until peak form, add pumpkin puree and continue whisk for few second until all blend and firm.

Scoop the blended pumpkin whipped cream over the two cups of pumpkin coffee and dust with chocolate powder or cocoa powder, enjoy it.

Note:

You may make one more portion of the pumpkin latte to keep in the fridge for later the day (just same as I did), because it is so nice, you only need to heat them again and top with fresh pumpkin whipped cream.

If you feel the pumpkin pie spice mix a bit stronger for you, you may reduce the quantity, but I can tell you, it is difference without them.

For vegan, you can use soya milk, rice milk or oat milk to substitute the normal milk, and forget the whipped cream, you only need to make the pumpkin latte without the cream topping, but make sure to blend the hot milk mixture until frothy. I did try an experiment for my first cup latte without any whipped cream on top. It still so creamy and smell so nice, and I can’t stop for another cup!
